Hello all.

Need some help with a case.
I have a 44 year old female who has presented with ongoing fractures to her 2nd and 3rd metatarsal neck/heads, these have occurred in both feet.
Her medical history - hypertension, iron deficient, hypercholesterolaemia
She is an office manager, overweight - BMI in the 25-30 bracket.
She does not exercise regularly (would like to) but is having significnat foot pain every 2-3 months with several fractures being diagnosed over the last 18 months.
When I saw her today, significant pain on palp of the right 3rd metatarsal head, with night pain - suspicious again of a fracture. Foot type is unremarkable.
Recent DEXA bone scan is normal.
Is someone able to nudge me into the right direction of why she would be getting sporadic stress fractures to her metatarsals. Im not sure where to look next.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Dean
